FULL DESCRIPTION OF LISTING
I’m Sam Dworkis, and have been practicing and teaching yoga for nearly 35 years. I’ve written three books, all based on unique circumstances that have profoundly affected my approach to yoga. I’ve studied with master teachers in India, Europe, the US, and Canada, and wrote my first book, "ExTension Yoga" (a no-pain, no-strain approach to yoga adapted for people of all ages, from couch potatoes to athletes) largely in part because I was dissatisfied with the way I was taught to practice yoga and because of what was published at the time. Then in my 40s, I developed multiple sclerosis and soon became disabled. No longer able to do "ExTension Yoga," I taught myself how to adapt "ExTension Yoga" further and used it to recover most of what I had lost. That adaptation was the basis for my second book, "Recovery Yoga," which is designed for chronically ill, injured, and aging people. Now that I am in my 60s, I can do most everything I could do when I was younger. But what I actually do in yoga is no longer as important to me as how I do it. My third book, "The Mechanics of Yoga," explains the counter-intuitive logic and techniques by which it works and applies to all styles of yoga (see below). All of my books are available through my website at www.extensionyoga.com. Although I teach in Wellington (West Palm Beach) Florida, the majority of my students come from out-of-town. Once my students have studied with me personally and have learned this methodology, students continue to study with me through the miracle of a high-speed Internet connection and a web-cam.
